Do a search on virtual memory.

I think maybe you need to have a higher setting for your virtual memory.
Low virtual memory settings can cause your system slowdown even though
there's plenty of physical RAM memory left available.

You might even want to download a program called Memory Zipper to help
automate your virtual memory settings. It costs approx $20. You don't
absolutely have to use some program to reset virtual memory for you. You
can reset your virtual memory manually fairly easily. Check this out:

Generally, a ballpark figure for virtual memory is approx 1.5x your RAM
memory size.
